Keeping up with the Strange's: 9 Months Old

   Colt turned 9 months old last week. I cannot believe it! I remember saying earlier that I wanted him to stay little. I am so glad God doesn't listen to me! It is so awesome to see him grow and learn. We can begin to see his personality more and more. He is going through a mommy phase right now, so he is attached to me all the time. And of course, he LOVES Winston! He just watches him and laughs hysterically. He is also getting so close to walking. He holds on to his diaper box and walks all over the house (which Justin thinks is ridiculous). You can tell he is focused and so happy to be able to go wherever he wants.
     We went to the doctor for his well-baby check up... who are we kidding... he isn't a baby anymore. He is a kid! Here are the stats
Weight: 17 pounds 9 ounces 9th%
Height:   29.5 inches 87th%
She was fine with his weight. She said basically he is so long that he is having trouble catching up, and since his height isn't slowing down (it's actually going up faster) then it will be hard for him to gain weight. She said I could feed him anything we were eating at dinner- which is crazy!! It makes him seem like he is so old!
    At 9 months, Colt loves...

foam bath letters- which he chews on
walking everywhere
feeding himself puffs
bath time
Mr. Monkey- his sock monkey
Winston and playing in Winston's food and water
flipping the pages on books- because he wants to be done with them faster :)

We are working on waving, which he is just starting to get the hang of, clapping and giving kisses, standing up alone, having nice hands and not hitting people, listening to the word no... this is a fun one! :)
Enjoy some pictures!
